Thanks for letting us know, Gil. Saddened to hear that George lost so much. Prayers for all who were badly affected by the storm, and for those making the repairs to restore power to all.
I was very concerned about our standing 617 acres of field corn, which is ready to be harvested. We did some ride-bys of a few fields yesterday morning and see no apparent blow-down damage. We did receive about 5-6" of rain, and gusty winds, but the corn fared well, it seems. Power was out for about 8 hours at our home. Screven County, which my local EMC also serves, has hundreds of outages still, maybe thousands. Linemen have been brought in from outlying EMCs that weren't affected by the storm to assist local EMC's linemen in repairs and power restoration. Pray for the linemen please, it is a very dangerous job restoring power after a major storm.
Was hoping Savannah didn't get hit too badly, Gil. Hoping the intensity of the winds had diminished somewhat as Idalia traveled inland across the state before reaching y'all.
